pauley's

one of our regular stopping points. my group gets down toathensonce a year, and pauley's is a go-to location for a good dinner. their crepes are generous, thin, and flavorful: the lott, which i had on this trip, was a mite too salty, but the cured meats can do that. the beer list is long with fine brews and service is efficient and attentive.

i would definitely recommend this place if you're inathensfor a show, or even to see that start-up football thing they have going on...

okay.. the crepes are so-so. it's not awful but it's not good either. i found the crepe itself (not the filling) tough and chewy. don't come in expecting your traditional crepe fillings but they do offer some interesting flavors like the buffalo chicken and turkey/cranberry. the crepe suzette is completely mislabeled as being made with lemon and sugar (it's supposed to be made with caramel, orange zest, and flambeed with grand marnier most of the time).

what really impressed me was their extensive selection of beers. samples are available upon request. if you somehow try all of their beers, you'll be forever immortalized inathenswith a picture on the hall of fame. an impressive feat to say the least.

while the food is so-so in quality and taste, it's cheap (in comparison to the portion) and pauley's has a great beer selection. a popular place to sober up or chill with a drink no doubt.
